GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- A Georgia mother said she wants answers and
action after she and her baby were kicked off a plane.

Mom, Babbling Baby Booted From Plane

Kate Penland said she was glad to board the plane in Houston to visit
her father in Oklahoma after an 11-hour delay. But she said a rude and
aggressive flight attendant caused her to get to Oklahoma a day late.

Penland thinks her 19-month-old son, Garren, has a bubbly personality.
But Penland said when they were aboard a Continental Express plane, a
flight attendant became annoyed by Garren's personality when he kept
saying three words.

"As we started taxiing, he started saying, 'Bye, bye plane,'" said
Penland. "At the end of her speech, she leaned over the gentleman
beside me and said, 'It's not funny anymore. You need to shut your
baby up.'"

In disbelief, Penland asked the woman if she was kidding. It was then,
Penland said, the flight attendant went too far.

"She then said, 'You know, it's called baby Benadryl.' And I said,
'Well, I'm not going to drug my child so you have a pleasant flight,'"
Penland said.


Fifty bucks say the f.a. was black. Her behavior sounds VERY
negroidy.
